Book excerpt: Edentulous maxilla combined with extremely atrophic alveolar crest is a challenge for the clinician. Bone augmentation is achieved with a variety of methods using graft materials(autogenous or substitutes) and missing teeth are replaced by implant supported prostheses. The placement of the implants is possible to be obtained with a fully guided approach. The purpose of this poster is to present two cases with atrophic maxilla which was reconstructed with bone augmentation procedures and implant placement. Two women in the sixth decade of their lives came for rehabilitation of upper jaw wishing implant placement and fixed prosthesis, if possible.Narrow temporary implants were placed to support temporary denture. Bilateral sinus floor elevation and guided bone regeneration (GBR) in the anterior maxilla was performed in both patients, eight weeks later. After seven months of uninterrupted healing, six implants were placed in the second case, whereas in the first case seven implants were placed fully guided. In both cases cover screws were maintained for six months. The patients recovered normally without complications and a final fixed prosthesis was created for each patient. Clinical and radiographic examination of the patients showed significant dimensional changes on the alveolar crest after bone augmentation. The restoration with implants without the need of further bone augmentation techniques was performed in both cases and six months later the final fixed prosthesis was delivered on each one. Both patients were fully pleased with the aesthetic and functional result. Regeneration of the severely absorbed maxilla is possible using several augmentation techniques. Although excellent results can be achieved without the need of fully guided surgery, the use of those tools offers greater accuracy in implant placement and reduces the intraoperative time, especially in cases with edentulous maxilla or mandible. Combination of techniques shows surgeonu2018s flexibility and offers the best possible result to the patient.
